During this year’s Second Chance Month, Maine became the latest state to join our Reentry 2030 initiative, which aims to reduce recidivism 30% nationally by 2030.
By joining Reentry 2030, Maine’s leaders across corrections, housing, health care, workforce, and education systems are committing to lower barriers to basic needs—and set people up for a second chance after prison.
“Maine DOC is committed to breaking incarceration cycles by expanding access to housing, employment, behavioral health services, and additional resources,” said Commissioner Randall Liberty of the Maine Department of Corrections (DOC). “We look forward to working with our partners to achieve these goals.”
